Officers from the Moorside neighbourhood policing team spotted two males ‘loitering’ on Talbot Drive.
One of the individuals was sitting on a Surron electric motorcycle, and both males fled on foot after spotting the officers.
Following a short pursuit on foot, the pair abandoned the bike several streets away.
The motorcycle was recovered and seized by the police.
Officers say the bike had been causing ongoing issues in the Moorside area for several months and will now be destroyed.

Sharing on social media, a spokesperson for GMP said: “On the evening of Tuesday, April 7, officers from the Moorside policing team witnessed two males loitering on Talbort Grove, Bury.
“One of the males was sitting on an electric Surron motorcycle and, upon noticing police, both males proceeded to make off. After a short foot pursuit, the offenders dumped the bike a few streets away, leading to the bike being subsequently seized by officers.
“This particular Surron has been causing issues around the Moorside area for several months and will now be sent for destruction.
“The Moorside neighbourhood policing team are committed to tackling ASB within the area, and any persons caught driving/riding motorcycles without insurance or the correct documentation will likely face the same action.”
